Actors (amateurs) needed


Vagina Monologues:A word from the organiser of this brilliant project:

'Thought I'd let you know that we've had a really varied group of women come to our auditions so far.That said, we've heard a lot of anecdotal evidence of women who were interested in taking part but got busy / ill / cold feet and didn't make it to any of the three auditions, so we've decided to hold one additional one just to give these folks a last chance to take part.

We're stressing that it's very informal so people
don't need to be scared, but we don't want people to regret not coming along so we're hoping this will coax those last few out of the woodwork.'

The extra audition will take place at the
Hollins Pub on Black Road this Wednesday (4 Nov) at 7pm.
People can find out more at the website (www.vdaymacclesfield.co.uk) and join the Facebook group (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=153615215945).

The loop is often to be heard moaning about the lack of theatre in Macc (MADS etc aside) so is delighted to hear about an innovative Macc production and one which highlights such a significant worthwhile local cause.The author of the Vagina Monologues, Eve Ensler has interviewed women from all walks of life and all ages and compiled them into this extraordinary montage of various real women’s experiences.

V-Day is a global movement aimed at ending violence against women, and the profits from this performance will be going to Macclesfield Womens' Aid, who help women and children escape abusive home situations. Hence they want ordinary local women, and ideally those who feel strongly about the cause (such as those who have encountered abuse or are close to someone who has). Acting experience is nothing compared to passion in these productions! But remember this is not an absolute prerequisite.


They are also keen to find a venue for their final production next February so if you have a spacious hall / performance space and would like to support this important cause please contact them.

Auditions:
The Hollins Pub, Black Road, Macclesfield
